My personal issues to the current IDW Transformers comic:

I have no interest nor the energy to read all those shoe-horned crossover comic lines whose mere purpose is to boost the other unrelated franchises through the Transformers IP.

Once or twice is OK, I get it is a business move. But making it a long term project? No thanks.

Really, if I want to read human related stories, I’ll read Star Wars stuffs. They have good human characters in their own distinct universe.

MTMTE Season 2 lacks it’s Season 1 magic (I made a post long before anyone made any comment about it’s issue), and the decline of it’s story structure and overall contingency further plunged in it’s ending arc. LL didn’t exactly pick up it’s truncated pacing from the start, even though the Functionist Universe arc did manage to round-up the addition of Megatron in a more cohesive manner. The new arc looked better after Megatron’s departure (it tells that JRO is not good at writing things that’s not in his original drafts even though he only needed to alter or add a few new things to the original plots, instead of writing a whole new thing like, I believe, in John Barber’s care when he’s the one who has to deal with Hasbro’s “toy promotional events” every time), but I can tell that my (and a lot of people’s) passion have been wore out by it, so that even the Mutineer Trilogy didn’t make me feel that exciting.

I mean, it’s not as bad as arguable the darkest hour of the IDW Transformers comics: the infamous Costa TF: The Ongoing Series. Not even close (you new comers don’t know how painful it was to have to endure literal garbage for years during that time). But it’s a fact that people are losing interest (judging by the post number both in here and on TFW forum), and although I still read LL more or less out of habit, I don’t know when the actual passion of reading it will be back.

I’ll still reblog TF-related stuffs here, but I really hope there will be some good contents from the comics that will prompt me into actively drawing them again.
